I could probably set up a bill pay for the daycare though. Hmm, I should look into that this week! I use BillPay a lot, but I still use paper checks for daycare and my daughter’s violin lessons.

Like NCN I mostly use online bill pay, but there are still a few things I must write a check for, mostly kid related stuff. Still I use only about 50 checks per year; bill pay has truly changed how I manage bill payments. NCN, you might want to check into sending a bill pay check to your day care, gymnastics coach, etc. All you need is their name & address - the checks are sent to them by your bank.

Congrats on converting to free checking! Rather than print checks on your computer, just do online bill pay. I couldn't imagine going back to writing physical checks.

I do this so that the bank personnel get to know me and my family, so if I have a need, they will know who we are. But, one thing, I only write two checks a month -- one for our apartment rent (yes, I still rent ) and the other is for our church tithe. Everything else is paid by Bill Pay through the bank. It does not cost me anything and it saves me from having to mail the bills and risk them getting lost. NCN, I am also old-fashioned by going inside the bank to transact business.
